I have this in travel size, but it's sooooo good. It's a great mascara, little-to-no transfer when I have worn it and will buy the non-travel size one once I finish up all the mascara tubes I do have.
Greatest Lashes of All Time Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara - Polite Society
This is literally the best affordable eyeliner that I recommend all the time. I always get the brown color. I love the formula, and it's been my go-to for the last 3 years. I recommend getting more than one, even if you don't use eyeliner all the tim...
Hot Chocolate Long Lasting Eye Pencil - Essence
Disclaimer: I don't really use this on my eye lids, but I do use it in my undereye and other areas of my face to highlight my existing freckles over my base AND to create some faux freckles as well. I personally still have this in its “pen” form (as ...
Brown Lash Princess Liquid Liner - Essence
I typically only use this for under the eyes, which is why I placed it in the “Eyes” category, but I know people who have used it on the rest of their face.
light 2 n Sweetener Concealer - r.e.m. beauty
Been obsessed with it since I was a teen. You'd never see me use anything else (unless it's a beauty emergency where this isn't readily available).
Dark Brown DIPBROW Waterproof, Smudge Proof Brow Pomade - Anastasia Beverly Hills
I have many eyeshadow palettes in my makeup drawer, but I think having these types of shades are so crucial for both day and night looks. This is one of the ones I tend to use when I'm doing something quick.
Nude Mood Pressed Powder Palette - ColourPop
I always have an eyebrow pencil around, and this is one of the brands I tend to buy. I don't use it often as I do the Anastasia brow pomade, but I do have it as a “just in case”.
Cool Ash Brown Micro Brow Pencil Eyebrow Pencil - NYX Professional Makeup
Truly recommend having something mini like this! While I always buy medium/slightly large palettes, a basic mini palette is something I try to keep around so I can do a basic eye look on-the-go.
Roses TruNaked Eyeshadow Palette - CoverGirl
Another brown liner that I tend to buy more than once! Love the formula. Only qualm I personally have is sharpening it.
02 French Chocolate Drama Liqui-Pencil Longwear Eyeliner - Lancôme

A little of this goes a long way as a blush! I tend to put it on my wrist before lightly dabbing a dot my face, instead of directly. I usually put on my foundation/skin tint first, then this, and once I'm setting my entire face, I use a blush powder ...
Lovetint Benetint Liquid Lip & Cheek Stain - Benefit Cosmetics
The closest tone I can find to a discontinued blush that I have from a different brand, but this one is also very good! Again, I tend to layer blush, so I don't typically use powder on its own and I go very lighthanded.
Torrid - 252 Blush - NARS
Listen… This is the only skin tint that I have used that didn't break me out AND its buildable coverage. I tend to get two shades (one for colder months and the other for warmer) because I love this product that much.
120 Super Stay 24H Skin Tint + Vitamin C - Maybelline
Personally got this as a gift from my mom. I love the coverage, didn't break me out (personally), but I DO recommend going in-store to sample and color match for your skin.
N11 Studio Radiance Serum Powered Foundation - MAC
Maybe I'm just a loyal person that refuses to move on, but this has been a “buy again” since I was a teen. Granted, I don't contour my face much anymore, so I have a palette that sits there 95% of the time. When I do, I tend bring this out. Personall...
Dulce De Leche MegaGlo Contouring Palette - Wet n Wild
Another product I have a deep loyalty to, even though it's not my main powder that I tend to use. I tend to use it if I want both matte and slightly more coverage over my base.
122 Creamy Beige Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder - Maybelline
This has been my go-to for the last two years! I personally love it and will be going back to it until further notice.
Transparency 3 Blended Face Loose Setting Powder - Clinique
One of the concealers that I tend to go back to when I need to coverup some reddish acne scarring. Literally, a little goes a very long way.
22N Light Neutral Shape Tape Concealer - Tarte
For a bit more of a heavier coverage, I actually love this 2-in-1 foundation. Covers up blemishes and any scarring you may have on your face. Don't use it too often, but it's great to have.
Light Beige Conceal + Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation + Concealer - Milani
Lips

This is the only brand for lip pencils I keep going back to! I personally love how easily it glides, the colors, and how it is incredibly affordable. I will admit that it isn't “lightweight” in the sense that you don't notice it on at first. I usuall...
Sweet Temptation Perfect Precision Lip Liner Pencil - L.A. Girl
I personally love this sort of shade of lipsticks. I tend to go with Revlon!
Rose Velvet Super Lustrous Lipstick - Revlon
Lip oils have been one of my favorite things for a few years. I always experiment with brands, and this is one inexpensive one I'd go to with a lip liner.
Rose Envy Glow Reviver Lip Oil - e.l.f. Cosmetics
